Exotic Terrarium Inhabitants: Is It Worth Getting and What Are Some Interesting Options

14.02.2025 06:10

Cats and dogs are classics, but not everyone will decide to get a terrarium with an exotic inhabitant.

Despite this, reptiles are gradually gaining popularity as pets in Russia.

Do you need this?

The first question that needs to be answered.

In some cases, it is better to choose a cat or a dog. For example, reptiles are not suitable for families with small children.

It is also necessary to evaluate your rhythm of life and determine whether such an exotic pet will disrupt it.

And then you need to figure out which type will best fit into your lifestyle.

To do this, you need to study in detail the information about a particular animal: care, nutrition, living conditions and other nuances.

Who to choose

Here your imagination can run wild.

Snakes, for example, are curious in their habits and rarely need feeding.

Turtles are long-lived and are also interesting to watch.

Geckos are compact (especially dwarf geckos) and also do not require complex care, but at the same time they look more than exotic.

Leopard geckos are suitable for beginners. These animals easily adapt to new conditions.

But a chameleon or a green iguana would be more suitable for advanced reptile owners.

Fans of large terrarium inhabitants will appreciate the tiger python.

Thus, the choice depends on personal preferences and, of course, possibilities.
